Bus schedule?

[Partyof12]

Is there any schedule for the buses to and from the parks to the resorts? I know they are supposed to run every 20 minutes or so but it seems like we kept just missing a bus and always had to wait. Once we waited almost 40 minutes for a bus from MK during EMH evening. We would have just stayed in the park longer if we knew what time the bus would get there.

They are not on a specific time schedule. They begin running at 7am, they run at aprox 20 minute intervals and they stop running once security calls the park clear of guests. Sorry that's not more helpful...but they do not have a set time to be anywhere.

During evening events, the busses usually run more slowly, and when the event is over, all the busses pull up at once. This happened to us at Epcot during Illuminations. We thought we would leave during the fireworks as to avoid the rush, but we had to wait about 45 minutes for a bus.

We now leave the park slowly after fireworks-even sit for a while- to avoid the exodus.

See you in the World---

Our recent experience is that though the buses run fairly regularly, they are not super-consistant.

We were staying at POFQ wanting to go to AK for morning EMHours, starting at 8 AM. We got to the bus stop at 7:25 AM and there were already a few people waiting. The AK bus did not show up until almost 7:50 and there were more people waiting than could fit on a single bus by that time. During the time between when we got there and when our bus arrived, there were two MK buses, two Epcot buses, two MGM buses, and even a DTD bus, none of which opened until 9 AM. I was fuming that we didn't get to the park until 8:30 AM for the EMH.

However, other than that, the typical wait for the buses was between 5 and 15 minutes most days, and likewise coming back from the parks we never waited more than 15 minutes for a bus, and usually 5 to 10. Of course, we tried to avoid closing time.
